Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0877282A2] The object of the present invention is to provide a transflective liquid display device which is capable of providing efficient transmissive display without damaging brightness in the reflective display. A transflective liquid crystal display device comprising a liquid crystal panel having a liquid crystal compound (105) sandwiched between a pair of opposing substrates (103, 106) and transparent electrodes (104), a first polarizer (101) disposed on the viewer's side of said liquid crystal panel, a reflective polarizer (108) disposed on the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel as against said first polarizer, and a backlight assembly (109, 110), wherein said reflective polarizer has the function of transmitting the polarisation component with a predetermined orientation, while transmitting the polarisation component with a different orientation and wherein said backlight assembly is substantially black in the non-emissive state. <IMAGE>
